I applied for unemployment with a claim on Nov. 21. I received a statement in the mail last week saying that I was ineligible in this state since I worked in Chicago, but they gave a WBA and an MBA for IIllinois instead. I went to the office in my state and filed an interstate form, so now do I have to wait another whole month before they begin to disburse any payments, or do the count the weeks I was waiting beforehand, as I put down the job I had in Chicago the first time, so it was obvious I wanted benefits from that job, not from a job in my home state.

Normally the waiting period or "Penalty" as they called this situation is about 2 - 4 weeks. But I am sure they are going to pay you retroactive payment since the moment you loose your job. Other thing is you have to be persistent with the Unemployment Office due they are handling a lot of cases not yours only. Keep calling them and make sure you request your weeks, if you dont do this they for sure are not doing nothing for you.

This varies from state to state, You might give your unemplyment office a call and try to talk to a referee about this.
